New WordPress, OpenCart, Drupal, and Magento builds. Fixed price, fixed timeline, no platform-agnostic mystery meat.
Development is the work of building a new site from a clean foundation, on a CMS we picked together for a reason. Not a migration. Not a redesign of last year's stack. A fresh build where the platform choice is one of the first things we decide together, before any pixel is pushed.
Most agencies that sell "CMS development" treat the platform as an afterthought. They have a favorite stack, often a forked premium WordPress theme, and they push every project into it. We do the opposite. The kickoff conversation starts with the platform question, and the answer is one of four: WordPress, OpenCart, Drupal, or Magento.
A new corporate site on WordPress runs 4 to 8 weeks. We build on a custom child theme, never a fork of Avada or Divi. ACF Pro for content modeling, RankMath for SEO, WordFence or Sucuri for security depending on hosting. Multilingual goes on Polylang Pro before any plugin you read about on a top-10 list.
An OpenCart store for 50 to 2,000 SKUs ships in 3 to 6 weeks. Stripe and PayPal as defaults, local payment gateways by request. We write our own modules instead of bolting on six paid extensions that fight each other on the next core update.
A Drupal build takes longer because the projects that need Drupal are bigger. Custom content modeling, deep permissioning, and government or institutional procurement add 2 to 4 weeks of discovery before code starts.
A Magento build is rare in our queue, and we are honest about that. We take Magento Open Source projects above $1M annual revenue or 10K+ SKUs. Below that, OpenCart or WooCommerce solves the same problem at a quarter of the total cost of ownership.
Custom WordPress builds at three honest price brackets — brochure ($3,500-7,000), custom ($9,000-20,000), enterprise ($25,000+). Sage 10, real timelines, no page builders.

Pre-built solutions for small business sites: $299 to $3,500. Custom development: $3,500 to $25,000, which is where most of our work lands. Enterprise builds: $25,000 and up. Numbers are fixed before kickoff, with a 50/50 payment split tied to milestones, not hours. We do not bill hourly, and we do not "discover" extra costs after sign-off.
Each new build ships with a 90-day post-launch warranty: bug fixes, browser-quirk patches, and minor copy edits at no extra cost. After that, you can pick up a support and maintenance plan from $99/month, or stay on the warranty period and handle updates yourself.
Pick a platform from the cards above to read the briefs and timelines, or scroll to the form below and tell us about the project. We reply with a recommendation within two business days. If WordPress, OpenCart, Drupal, and Magento are all wrong for you, we say so.
Development means a new site built from scratch on a clean foundation. The information architecture, the design, the content model, and the codebase are all new. Redesign means we keep the existing CMS, content database, and URLs, and rebuild the front-end experience. Different scope, different price, different risk profile. If you are happy with your CMS but the site looks like 2018, you want a redesign. If you are starting over, you want development.
No. Premium themes from ThemeForest or Envato carry 8 to 15 plugins bundled in, and most of those break or go unmaintained on the next core update. We build on a clean child theme of a stable parent (Astra or GeneratePress for WordPress, Default for OpenCart). The first-month cost looks higher. The two-year cost is half.
Two business days from the signed brief and the deposit. Smaller projects ship the kickoff and discovery work the same week. For larger custom builds, the queue is usually 2 to 4 weeks out, which we tell you up-front instead of taking the deposit and stalling.
That is the most common starting point, and it is what the brief form below is for. Tell us the project, the team, and the budget. We reply with a platform recommendation and the reasoning behind it. About half the time we recommend WordPress. The other half is a real split across OpenCart, Drupal, and Magento.
Both options work. We have an in-house designer who handles brand-driven design at $1,200 to $4,500 depending on scope. Or we work from your designer's Figma file and skip that line item. About 60% of projects bring their own designer.
